God is still speaking...
Never place a period where God has placed a comma. -- Gracie Allen.
Our "Open and Affirming Declaration":
We believe that we are all part of God's creation and that we
are all sisters and brothers in God's family. We welcome and
affirm gay men and lesbian women into the life and leadership
of our congregation. We condemn all acts of violence against
people because of their sexual orientation.
To this end, we join the United Church of Christ Open &
Affirming Congregations and the American Baptist Churches
Welcoming & Affirming congregations. And in the spirit of
this affirmation, we authorize our ministers to extend to gay
men and lesbians all of the blessings of life in our
congregation, including the blessing of same-sex unions.
Our Illuminators bring dramatic presentations to our worship services.
